Thank you!
Myrtle has a very sweet face, already an attraction! Best of luck! (in advance.)
I thought so too, Jeanne. Jo brought our family’s ‘dream Myrtle’ to life. As you’ll see in my post next week, it’s why I had to make sure my family liked Jo’s rendition of her. And they loved it! (Whew!)
Delightful!!!
Thank you, Diane. Glad you like!
Good morning Cynthia Love the cover! 😊 Myrtle is really cute. Cheers Ron

I love it, Cynthia! Myrtle is absolutely adorable!
Awww… thanks, Jessica. I’m glad to hear that.
When in October??? How can we pre-order??? Where will it be sold??? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
Hi Karen (alias Inquiring Minds): It’s supposed to be October 15, but I’ve found that sometimes it’s a bit earlier on Amazon. Amazon will have it first, for sure!
Thanks. I will watch for it.
Thank you, Karen. and always for your support of my writing.
Adorable cover. Kids will love it.
Thank you, Andrea. And congrats on the launch of Amanda. That trailer works — it scared me!

Oh good, that’s the idea. I tried it out at a school and they loved it! thanks for visiting my blog.
And thanks for not noticing that I called you by the wrong name — or graciously ignoring it, more like!
You’re welcome. I’m not surprised they love it!
I have been called much worse. Besides I like the name Andrea. LOL
Have a great book tour, Darlene! Congrats again, and my best wishes.
Adorable! Congratulations, Cynthia.
Thank you, Jill!
Congratulations! Myrtle is adorable and I look forward to reading about her. Will there be a sequel?
I guess I awta be working on one, right? Thanks for the congrats, Georgeina!
Divine! Love the colors and look forward to the story!
Thank you very much, Annette. That’s a nice compliment!
Adorable, and the colours are beautifully vibrant! Eye catching… The kids will love Myrtle!
I do hope you’re right, Susan! Thanks very much.
Love it!
Thank you!
It is a delight. Myrtle’s expression especially.
Nice to hear from you, Lesley. Glad you like Myrtle.
Beautiful cover, Cynthia and Jo. 👍
Thank you, Tracy. We appreciate that.
So cute! I love it. 🙂
Yay! Glad to hear.
She is adorable! I love the way she is framed by flowers and the reds just pop. Best wishes!
Thanks, Jo, for your kind comment. I’m glad you like her and her setting.
Super cute – well done and wishing you the very best of luck with Myrtle.
Thank you, dear Wendy.
A great colourful cheery cover! I love it & the kids will too!
Thank you, dear Sandra. I hope they do!
Love it! She’s so sweet!
Thank you, Sheryl. Our family loves her too. She’s been a real character in our minds all these years. Jo has brought her to life and our family is very pleased.
That is absolutely charming Cynthia – Congratulations! ❤
Thank you, my friend. How’s the painting coming along?
It is ‘resting’ 🙂
Looking forward to meeting Myrtle.
You will very soon! Thank you, Paula.
Oh she’s such a sweetie, great cover Cynthia 🙂
Thank you, Andrea!
I want to swoop her up and hug her. Love the font.
You made me grin! She is sweet, isn’t she?
Absolutely.
So bright and cute!
Thank you! Jo did a great job.
I love it, Cynthia!
I’m glad, Betty!
A lovely, sweet turtle, Cynthia! I wish I could have read this book as a child. 🙂
Me too! Thanks, Lavinia.
Excellent, Cynthia. I’ll reblog this later next week!
Thank you, Kev.

A fantastic cover reveal by Cynthia Reyes of her new book.. Illustrated by Jo Robinson and released in October.. a definite book for children of all ages..
Adorable!
Thank you!
She looks adorable 🙂
Thank you, Karina. And for your wonderful blog. I’m so glad I follow you.
You are too kind Cynthia, the admiration goes both ways.
I love it already!
Thanks, Bella. Next week, I’ll include Jean’s grandchildren’s role in the choice of the cover. One of those delightful experiences.
It’s a really cute cover. Myrtle is so very cute.
Thanks. I had an idea of what she looked like when I first wrote the story but it took 27 years to actually see a painting of her. It occurs to me that you, with your wonderful talents as an illustrator and writer, can paint the picture right away.
Thank you for that, but I find coming up with a character idea very painstaking and difficult. Like drilling through rock. The fun part for me is after it’s gone through its initial development. It sounds like your illustrator really captured what you were looking for.
Love it Cynthia! Huge congrats! 🙂 x
Thank you, D!
This looks gorgeous. I look forward to hearing more about it.
Thank you, Norah! Nice to meet you.
Myrtle is gorgeous! Well done Cynthia and Jo 😀
Myrtle will make a wonderful gift. Just in time for the holidays. Cheers!
Fantastic cover, Cynthia and Jo! Best of luck in October!
Thank you!

Let’s hear it for Cynthia’s latest cover reveal!
Just amazingly gorgeous, Cynthia. Jo did a beautiful job for you. 🙂
She certainly did! Thank you.
What a beautiful, eye-catching cover! Best of luck with your book, Cynthia.
Thank you, Claire!
Je découvre ce blog et cette Tortue violette et je tombe sous le charme.
Je décide de m’abonner et de rebloguer pour la faire connaître à un plus large public, elle le mérite!
Pour la petite histoire, j’habite à Toulouse en France et Toulouse est appelée la ville rose pour la couleur de ses façades de brique, et aussi la cité des violettes où ces si jolies fleurs poussent en abondance.
Merci beaucoup, Sylvain! I did not know that about Toulouse: “La cite de violette”.
What a fun, inviting and creative cover. Love it! Great nephews Jude and Rohan will be getting a copy of this!
Tina, I’m so glad you approve! Fun, inviting and creative are a lovely compliment. Coming out late next week!
I’ll be ready to order my two!!
Music to my ears, Tina! I am honoured by your strong support of my books. Thank you!
How adorable, congratulations!
Thank you so much!
A very interesting approach to your cover selection!
I guess the kids know best!
Indeed, Carl. Though it’s the parents/other adults that buy books, I chose to go with the kids’ choice.
Oh, Cynthia!! She is adorable!
I love the story of how your story of Myrtle came to be. Such an inspiration!
Blessings~
Bless you, Robbye Faye!
You, too, Cynthia! The story makes me wish I still had little ones or that I had some grandchildren to read it to! (I have one grandchild and she’s in her 20’s. I kept praying and wishing for more but it looks like there won’t be.)
The alliteration works so well
Thank you! I agree, of course.(smile)
